| Description of the problem | My windshield cracked while on the highway. I did not see or hear a stone hit. 3 other people were in the car when a 10 inch crack appeared from the driver side corner post toward the middle. No one saw or heard a stone hit. I came home and researched it and there are many complaints on the outback forum about how easily their windshields broke. I think it is a safety issue if so many of subaru's new windshields are cracking so easily. |
